You heard me! When was the last time you used a plastic utensil? I would guess you are using one right now. Then what? You will toss it away after only one use won’t you? Don’t make me come over there!
Here is an idea many of us are using these days: To-Go-Ware. Most of us already use some type of reusable bag to carry groceries, our lunches or maybe even the random rooster who needs a lift down to City Hall. What more would it take for you to take a pair of lightweight reusable utensils with you to work or out to dinner with you? Nothing at all, just do not pack them with the hitchhiking rooster.
To-Go-Ware is made of bamboo, are easily washed, BPA free (BPA a.k.a Bisphenol-A) is bad, safe and non-leaching (I love the leeches but prefer when my products do not leach), and is Phthalate free (I am not sure but if I can’t pronounce it, I prefer not to have it).
And the product is not only environmentally friendly, but people friendly too. To-Go-Ware supports a program known as CONSERVE in New Delhi, India and another called WEAVE (Women’s Education for Advancement and Empowerment) along the Thailand-Burma border. Link to the website for more information on these programs.
Making a change for the environment is as easy as carrying these super lightweight products along to your next meal. Get out there and make a difference people or our friendly picnic bear will be visiting you personally.
